Mombasa: 10-Year-Old Autistic Boy Goes Missing While On Lunch Date With Elder Brother

• Maxwell Kamau was having lunch with his elder brother when he went missing
• The 10-year-old autistic boy is non-verbal due to his condition, which has made it difficult to track
• Kamau's auntie, Millicent Ngugi, disclosed that the family had just relocated to Mwembeni when the boy disappeared

Maxwell Kamau's mother, Everline, had just relocated to Bamburi and was searching for a house when the little one disappeared.

The 10-year-old autistic boy was having lunch with his elder brother at Aroma Inn Mwembeni when he wandered away.

Where was Kamau last seen?

Kamau's aunt, Millicent Ngugi, told TUKO.co.ke that the youngster was last seen on May 13 at Amazon, Mwatamba sub-location, Kadzandani ward.

She explained that Everline had left the siblings at the hotel to search for a house as they were new in the area.

"He is a handful due to the autism, so it looks like he overwhelmed his 13-year-old brother and disappeared," she said.

Given that he was left in charge of another younger sister, the elder brother decided to stick behind and look after the baby.

How was Kamau dressed?

In a new environment with no one to guide him, Kamau lost track of the location and has never been seen again.

The search has been made difficult by the fact that the missing boy does not talk due to his condition, so tracking him is not easy.

"It was easier where they came from because neighbours knew his case and often brought him back home whenever he went out to roam," she noted.

Millicent added that Kamau was wearing a blue tracksuit when he disappeared.

Anyone with information about the missing boy is requested to contact his mother, Eve, on 0720041541 or report to the nearest police station.
